I <br />SEP 26 1954 BooK 58 uG X46 <br />Byron Cooksey spoke as an owner of a tract of land from <br />AlA to Jungle Trail just north of Summerplace. He also <br />believed it is obvious that the entire character of this <br />area is residential. Mr. Cooksey felt there is sufficient <br />commercial on the east side of AlA to do whatever they want, <br />and did not believe it is in the best interests of the <br />community to expand the commercial on the west side of AlA. <br />Jeannette Lier, One Michael Creek Drive, Orchid, saw no <br />reason why the node has to be 25 acres at all, and she <br />concurred that there is sufficient commercial on the east <br />side. She further noted that the only thing that would keep <br />the traffic on the island is a big supermarket, and that <br />would bring traffic from Wabasso. Mrs. Lier urged that the <br />Board do nothing to make the traffic in the park area any <br />worse. <br />Celia Swenson, resident of Summerplace, spoke of the <br />traffic created by fisherman hauling their boats to <br />Sebastian Inlet Park, and noted that the only way they can <br />get to that park is by 510. <br />Michael Chason, representing the Vero Beach Trading <br />Corp., wished to remind the Commission that there have been <br />suggestions that a shopping center should be put on the east <br />of AlA; however, there is a site plan approved over there so <br />that it can't go there. Mr. Chason realized that people are <br />concerned about traffic, but it is a fact that there are <br />many more site plans already approved; there will be many <br />more residents; and there will be a need for commercial. He <br />believed it was the wisdom of the Board to put the <br />Commercial at the intersection so the traffic could be <br />handled internally there. Mr. Chason noted that he is not <br />bringing a site plan before the Board today, but he wished <br />to assure the people that they do plan an upscale shopping <br />center. This is expensive property and will not economi- <br />cally support a 711, etc. <br />32 <br />
